Trump signs budget bill to reopen government

Passage is all but assured in the Senate, but House leadership faces a hard road in moving the budgetbill through the chamber. However, the procedure can be bypassed with an agreement from all 100 senators - but Paul would not join the gang.

US government funding lapsed Friday as Congress' efforts to pass a spendingbill fizzled out in the Senate for the second time in less than a month.

The spending package provides for a $300 billion boost in military and non-military spending over the next two years as well as tens of billions for disaster relief.

The shutdown may well be temporary, but can only end when the package is approved by both houses of Congress and signed by President Trump.

"The reason I'm here tonight is to put people on the spot", Paul said on the Senate floor.

The budgetbill raises military and domestic spending by nearly $300 billion over the next two years.
